Our take on the De'Longhi Nespresso Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Machine
The Vertuo is a pod coffee maker that brews both full-size coffee and espresso from Nespresso Vertuo capsules. It reads a barcode on each capsule's rim and sets brew time, water volume and temperature to match, so one button makes everything from a 1.35 oz espresso to a 14 oz coffee. It is the simplest route to café-style coffee at home, but it locks you into Nespresso's Vertuo pods, which cost more per cup than ground coffee and are sold mainly by Nespresso. Rivals like Keurig brew cheaper K-Cups but rarely produce a true espresso; the Vertuo's crema and espresso quality are its edge.
- Barcode reading sets brew size and strength automatically
- Makes both espresso and large coffee from one machine
- Centrifusion spinning produces a thick crema
- Simple one-button operation with little cleanup
- Heats up quickly for back-to-back cups

What reviewers say
Owners like the convenience and the crema, and most say the coffee tastes better than Keurig-style brewers. The recurring complaints are pod cost, the closed capsule system and the machine's footprint.

- Capsule lock-inCriticisedBuyers dislike that only Nespresso Vertuo pods fit and no third-party capsules work.
Questions and answers
- Does it make regular coffee or only espresso?
- Both. It brews espresso, double espresso, gran lungo and full coffee sizes, up to about 14 oz, using the matching Vertuo capsules.
- Can I use OriginalLine Nespresso capsules in it?
- No. Vertuo machines take only Vertuo capsules, which have a barcode on the rim. OriginalLine pods do not fit.
- Do I need to adjust settings for each capsule?
- No. The machine reads the barcode on the capsule and sets the brew size, temperature and spin speed itself.
- How much maintenance does it need?
- Empty the used-pod bin and refill the water tank regularly, and run the descaling cycle when the machine indicates it.
- Is it worth it over a Keurig?
- If you want real espresso and crema, yes. If you want the widest, cheapest pod choice, a Keurig-style brewer is more flexible.
